Hi,
Mine sent in end of September and receive the letter for further delay in the end of January.

I also have a air ticket for this weekend.

I requested for urgent processing with copied ticket about a month ago. I received e-mail says my requested was accepted but nothing happened till today. I just called CIC this morning and my finding is that since my application is needed for further review, they cannot give me PR card renewed. ??? ??? ???

So, I am sorry to tell you this even you request urgent processing, it will not help....

Only three choices left which are cancel travel, stay long enough(one month?) to have Travel document in oversea or come back Canada by private vehicle.

Thank you.
My Air ticket is for end-May. Hope it works out before that date, else we will lose the fare paid to the Airline.
Visa process in India is also another challenge!
Good luck to you ... Kindly post when you get it so that it will give us hope!

Looks like no processing for 2nd review. Cic put all efforts on the regular PR renewal.
I don't get this. I have lived in Canada over 1000 days but now I have no freedom to in and out of Canada.
Is there any place or person I can complain about this?
This just doesn't make sense to me at all. At least I want time frame.

Hi all,

I'm also in the same situation-seems like CIC is increasing the number of cases sent to secondary review.

I sent the application to renew the PR card on September 8th, 2014. Got an email on January 20th, 2015 that my application was referred to a secondary review (I have over 745 days of residency in the last 5 years and my card expired).

It's been almost 2 months and I haven't heard any feedback since then. For a month almost I couldn't see the status of my application online but about 3 weeks ago the status appeared once again as "In Process".

Will keep everyone posted.

Good luck guys...

Hi all,
Has anyone got the PR card renewed recently? Web site shows the processing time has reduced from 176 to 76 days from September 2014 to March 2015. My application was received in September 2014, Transferred to Secondary review in Jan 2015 and still " in process". Kindly post if anyone received after the Secondary review and if so how long it took for the review. It will give some hope and relief to those in the queue... Waiting!
Many thanks

U guys are lucky only secondary review. it means they accepted ur application… U just have to wait for the card to be sent to the local office for processing.

For mine, I sent in Feb 2015, received email last week asking me for more information like travel documents for all countries I visited in last 5 yrs… Stamps on passports not enough…

So I guess mine is tougher than u guys… Even though I met my stay obligation..
